Study of a Ballet Dancer seen from the Back

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Welcome to the museum! Today, we're going to look at a really cool picture of a dancer. nn Can you find the dancer in the picture? That's right, she's the one standing in the middle! What do you notice about how she's standing? nn That's right! She's pointing her toes, just like a real ballerina! She looks like she's getting ready to do a really big twirl, don't you think? nn Even though we can only see her back, the artist did a great job of showing us how graceful she is. See how he drew her back? It looks so elegant and flowy, like a ribbon! nn What do you think the ballerina is thinking about as she's getting ready to dance? nn Maybe she's thinking about all the people who will be watching her. Or maybe she's just thinking about how much she loves to dance! nn This picture is a reminder that even though we can't always see what someone is thinking, we can still appreciate their beauty and grace. nn Now, let's go look at some other amazing artwork!
